UNSPSC 85481762: Extraction of lumbosacral plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of lumbosacral plexus, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 01DA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481762 Extraction of lumbosacral plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no material recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions are: comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility (Columbus Consolidated Government, RFP, May 2026), pharmacy benefit management for a county health consortium (Collier County, RFP, April 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees (Monroe County, RFP, April 2026), peer support services for peer workers under a mental health innovation pilot (San Mateo County, RFP, July 2025), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department, RFP, October 2025). None of these solicitations involve surgical extraction of the lumbosacral plexus or related surgical procedures; instead, they span correctional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefits management, telehealth platforms, behavioral health peer support, and medical direction for emergency services. The code appears to be mistagged or used as a catch-all for healthcare service procurement at the state and local level rather than for the orthopedic or neurosurgical procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies span county corrections departments, county health benefits administration, county emergency medical services, and county behavioral health authorities across Florida, Georgia, and California. No recent opportunities under this code reflect actual surgical services, orthopedic or neurosurgical procedures, or any work related to spinal nerve extraction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this Commodity code inconsistently or as a default classification for healthcare contracting broadly. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the specific UNSPSC tagging in each opportunity notice before committing resources, as the code does not reflect a coherent or actionable procurement category for surgical services.
